Sally is one of the sweetest, most well-mannered dogs you’ll ever meet. At around 8 or 9 years old, she’s past the wild puppy stage—quietly playful, never rowdy, and always gentle. She’s easy to walk on a leash, loves car rides, and is the kind of dog who melts into your arms when you hug her. This beautiful girl has spent more than half her life in a shelter. She arrived in August 2018 at just 2 years old, was pulled by a rescue in September, but after an unfortunate bite incident under questionable circumstances, she was returned. She found...

or: Why Does It Cost So Much to Adopt a Shelter Dog? Adopting a dog from a shelter is a wonderful thing to do. It gives a loving home to a dog in need. But many people are surprised by how much it can cost. Let’s look at why these fees are necessary and what they cover. Vaccinations Shelters make sure dogs get the shots they need to stay healthy. These shots protect dogs from diseases that can make them very sick or even be deadly. Important vaccinations include: Rabies: Protects against a disease that can spread to people. Distemper:...

As spring rolls in, so do lots of cute puppies and kittens at places like Hardeman Adoptable Animals. But with all these adorable new arrivals, shelters like ours face a big challenge. We get so many new litters that it’s tough to look after them all. At HAA, we’re all about helping animals, and one big way we do that is by talking about spaying and neutering. Here’s why it’s so important: Keeping the Pet Population in Check: There are way more animals needing homes than there are people adopting them. Spaying and neutering help stop more babies from being...

We got an update on GUS this week! He went up North to a foster in West Chicago and she fell in love and she ADOPTED him! She says “He’s a happy boy! He’s a shy guy who definitely prefers me, and is a chicken. He loves all the dogs and loves to play. He’s a goofy boy!

Warning: some photos may be a little graphic HAA volunteers responded to a call of a dog in need of care today. This sweet boy had a lead wrapped around his leg and did not want to be touched. His leg was injured, and he was obviously in pain. Volunteers were able to get him to Old Hatchie Vet Clinic (thank you, Dr. Pulse!) to be looked at. His leg is now free of the cord, and he will be kept overnight so Dr. Pulse can re-evaluate in the morning once some swelling goes down. Right now we are hoping...

There’s a Vietnamese proverb that says, “When eating fruit, remember the one who planted the tree.” Our hearts are full of gratitude and we want to say Thank You. 2020 was a challenging year for everyone, but despite it all our supporters were so very generous with their donations that we were able to finish the shelter and buy a new van. So many other donations in between helped with our daily operating expenses for the health and happiness of our dogs. We cannot do what we do without you, and we are profoundly grateful.  If you are interested in...

HAA extends heartfelt sympathy to our volunteer Ken Hadley. Ken is steadfast in his work to see us move into the new shelter! Marie, and her partner and best friend, Ken Hadley, spent most of the last 20 years fostering and caring for the animals of Hardeman County. They sheltered as many as 15 at a time at their home, held fundraisers there on the farm, and participated in most, if not all, events for the shelter. Ken uses his heavy equipment to mow, clear, and level the land at both the old and new shelters. Marie enthusiastically supported all...
